Magrunner FREE on GOG for 24 hours! (June 18, 2014)

<< < (3/4) > >>

It seems like "flash sales" that last only a few hours are the new rage with game vendors - it's not just GOG.

But when I went to check out, that first item was off sale and showing up in the cart at its regular price.

Yeah... steam is friendlier in this regard.  They put big orange letters that something in your cart has changed in price, and put an asterisk beside it.

40hz:
Well... I guess it must be working for them then.  :huh:

But I still don't much care for it.

I try not to come across as being too pissy about things like this. GoG is a great company and I've been a happy customer of theirs  for some time now. Which is probably why when something goes wrong with GoG, it annoys me a lot more than the same thing would if it happened with another company.

I did send a mild note of complaint and suggested that the price of a title (once added to the cart) remain valid until the current user session ended or 60 additional minutes after the sale price expired - whichever came earlier. Or if that was not possible that you at least be informed (a la Steam) that the price had been changed.

I got the usual non-committal response about "passing your suggestion over to the appropriate team" -  so we'll see. But hey! If you don't complain it'll never get fixed, right?

wraith808:
Exactly.  And I didn't really view it as nit-picking... seems valid to me!  I actually almost bought something once the ticker had expired because of this particular glitch.
